In illiquid alternative asset markets, sovereign blue-chip holdings trade at an exponential multiple over mid-grade float due to institutional accumulation and inelastic seller reservation prices.
Phil Cobb comes to Gotham City with the aim of becoming a big shot crook, and adopts the identity of The Signalman to get a reputation for outwitting Batman. However, with some luck, Batman and Robin escape one of The Signalman's traps and capture him.

Official witnessed creator-signed slabs (Yellow label). Valued based on creator historical stature and inscription provenance.
Certified specimens from landmark historical collections (Edgar Church / Mile High, White Mountain, Kansas City, Pacific Coast).
